Cinnamon Crunch Loaf

This delicious Cinnamon Crunch Loaf is a perfect pairing with your coffee or tea any time of day!

This Cinnamon Crunch Loaf is a quick loaf that is one of my favourites to whip up anytime. It is perfectly spiced with nutmeg and has a vein of cinnamon sugar running through it.

On top is a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping. In fact, there’s so much cinnamon sugar topping, that you’ll probably want to make sure you eat this one over a plate :)

I love that this one is made easily with common pantry items, so I always know I’ll have the ingredients on hand to make it. And since it comes together quickly, it’s perfect for a last-minute sweet treat.

A delicious, quick loaf full of warm spices and a crunchy, cinnamon top. The main loaf is perfectly spiced with nutmeg, with a vein of cinnamon sugar. On top is a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping.Keeps well stored at room temperature.

Ingredients

Topping:

Loaf Batter:

1/4cupbuttermelted

1egg

1cuplight brown sugar

1/4cupvegetable oil

1Tbsp.vanilla extract

1cupbuttermilk

2cupsall-purpose flour

1tsp.ground nutmeg

3/4tsp.baking soda

Pinchof salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° F. Grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan and cut a piece of parchment paper to line the bottom and the long sides, with flaps that extend out the sides (for lifting it out easily after it's cooked).

In a small bowl, stir together 1/3 cup white sugar and the 1 Tbsp. cinnamon and set aside.

Melt the butter and allow to sit a few minutes to cool. Add to a medium bowl. To the butter, add the oil, egg, brown sugar and vanilla and mix until well combined.. Add the buttermilk and stir to combine.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, nutmeg, baking soda and salt whisk until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the bowl and stir until combined.

Put half of batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the top evenly with 4 Tbsp. of the sugar and cinnamon mixture. Put the remaining batter evenly overtop and sprinkle evenly with the remaining sugar and cinnamon mixture.

Bake in the pre-heated oven until a tester inserted in the centre comes out clean, 45-50 minutes. Allow to cool in the pan set on a cooling rack for 15 minutes. Run a knife along the short sides to loosen, then lift the loaf from the pan using the parchment paper flaps and set on the cooling rack to cool completely.

Mmmm, delicious photographs throughout! So glad I stumbled upon this blog (when I searched for apple fritters…I’ve got to try those…). I immediately put you in my favorites. I live in the hot south of the US, so when I see pictures of cozy Canadians, I am immediately…jealous! haha! (more like wistful…) So, coffee with a celebrity. Hmmm…Some great minds would be so intimidating, but I think a cup o’ joe with Winston Churchill or G.K. Chesterton would certainly be a long draught of wisdom, worth anyone’s time!

Ooohh so delicious! I would love to share a coffee with Diana Gabaldon… author of the Outlanders. I have just started into her books and can’t put them down. Read her wiki bio…. an interesting read. Thanks for the contest!

This is such a good giveaway! I’m your province neighbour (MB! :D) and I am so glad to hear of an awesome Canadian company doing cool things.
I would love to have coffee with Steve Martin. He is one of my favourite funny people!

I am a HUGE coffee lover! I’d like to have coffee with… God that’s a hard one. I’ve been sitting here thinking about my potential answer for the last five minutes. Okay, actress Regina King. She was in the TV series Southland.

I would share a cup of coffee with Caitriona Balfe (who plays Claire in Outlander). I’d really like to SAY Sam Heughan (who plays Jamie) but I think my husband would get mad. :) Maybe he’d be okay with it if I gave him a piece of that Cinnamon Loaf…

If I could share a cup of coffee with someone famous…gosh I’m awful at answering these types of questions..Betty White. I feel like it would be a funny conversation but that she’d somehow end up sharing this wealth of wisdom and knowledge along with it.

As a Canadian, I am particularly intrigued by this! I can think of few things better than a cup of locally roasted java, especially as the temperatures start to drop. And if I had to share my coffee with anyone, which I actually would rather not do, it would have to be with Isabelle Allende. I’ve been reading things about her creative process lately, and I think she could be truly inspiring as I battle writer’s block. Thanks!

Love Costa Rican coffee! I would love to have coffee with Princess Kate and chat about our sons and baby #2 on the way for both of us. She could fill me in on the princess life and her style too, of course.

The combo of that coffee and your cinnamon loaf sounds divine! Pinning it for sure. If I still lived in Canada and were legible :-) I would share my cup of coffee with you. I would’ve loved to meet you in person, Jennifer!
